Hackathon?

This is an event, typically lasting several days, in which a large number of students/people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming. Many of our members secure summer internships and win prizes at these events.

We run a variety of regular events, covering tutorials, themed hackathons, competitions and contests.

We regularly attend events across the country, such as Hacked.io and Space Apps.

We plan to host a variety of events, and welcome members of all skill levels and backgrounds. These events include:

Very active society with a wide range of socials. We run a 4 weekly schedule, with the theme changing every 4 weeks. The events in these four weeks include: Tutorials and talks, game development competitions, collaborative project sessions and special one off events.

Weekly programming practice, in which members can work through problems as teams to gain the skills necessary to represent the University in the national and international competitive programming competitions.

Guest talks from well known hackers and developers, to provide crucial insight into the world of programming for a living

But why should I join?

The skills we develop are massively sought after in industry

A friendly, collaborative environment of people creating great things

The chance to travel to events nationally and internationally, meet new people, make new links and see new things
